    Utterly stupid

    Ah great, they still didn't fix one of the most irritating things i ran into using this for 30 seconds when they first started Spaces: the images one inserts in a post become an 'album'.  Not only that, that album is visible and shows itself to all, and on top of that, it gets put at the top of the list of photo albums showing by default below.  Right.  That seems like something a user really intends to have happen.  There's my personal photo albums to share, and of course equal to those there is the 'album' of little images i inserted in a blog entry.  Just in case you wanted those as a slideshow. 

    i also couldn't get a PNG with transparency to draw correctly btw, when inserted in the post.  GIF also failed.  Maybe incompatible with Photoshop.  Or PNG image support with transparency is less important than various lame 'Effects' on an image. Like the good old 'emboss'.  Or 'sepia'.  You too can be an 'artist'!  Well, I'm happy to see there are tons of other options and features i don't need, that i am sure will be well-liked by the hardcore bloggers who clearly want nothing but migrate their daily blogging to Windows Live Spaces.  Just the credibility you get from hosting your blog here alone is worth it.   Right.

    Yeah, I tried that before Scott, and it got busted.  But i did it again just now, to be sure.  You do have to hit Shift-F5 after doing it and signed out of course, and then as far as i can tell it's bye bye images.  So i think it really needs to be there.  This has been the case for i think a few years now.  I'll complain about more interesting things soon i hope, this is just mino annoyances. haha

    Tip: If you delete the blog photo album, it doesn't come back or delete the pictures.

    Nothing wrong with a good critique with strong conviction. And your criticism now is the same as it was when you were employed with Microsoft, which is doubly unfortunate for us.

    Leave Microsoft and then bash it.  Classy.
